Hi,

we've got 2 tiers running, first one runs plain Apache, on the 2nd tier we run Tomcat.

Now we need to run a webapp containing some servlets on the tomcat box. The app is really a tier 1 application (some forms etc.). Someone at work suggested we use mod_jk in the tier 1 Apache to get incoming onto tomcat on tier 2. I figured: why not just setup a reverse proxy with ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse?

On httpd.conf on Apache put this in:

ProxyPass         /somewere/ http://otherbox:8080/webapp/
ProxyPassReverse  /somewere/ http://otherbox:8080/webapp/

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using mod_jk in a scenario like this? I don't get a whole lot of clues when looking at the connectors documentation page.

Thanks for any feedback,

Bas.
